Ok. First of all I'm sorry about this post because probably some of you are expecting a post about the XNA tools and stuff, But I just havn't got the time to post about them... I'm sure next week i'll have some time off and I promise I'll finally begin to post about them. This post is to give some congrats to my Team because we won 2nd place on the Dream Build Play 2008 Competition which I feel is quite a good achievement for our first game... Congratulations also to the other teams that made it to the end: Gambit from Singapore with "CarneyVale Showtime" (1st Place), Our team :) (2nd Place), Weapon of choice (3rd Place), and HuricaneX2 (with the 4th prize). The games just look fantastic... If you want more information check the Dream Build Play site (www.dreambuildplay.com)

Andy Patrick has a very nice blog about a game he's making, and he has written some posts about the tools that everyone involved in game programming should know about, you should definitely check it out if you are an XNA game programmer. These tools include: the CLRProfiler, PIX, Reflector (great one if you want to learn how XNA works internally), and some others. Since he already wrote about those very useful tools, (I haven't had the time to check out all of them) I'm gonna be talking about some other tools we're going to be using and some tools we are developing, especially a drop-in XNA debugging console I created for the development of Battle Tennis. I will be also adding some features to the console and sharing it with you (game devs) so you can use it for your own projects (and I can have some more feedback :). I'm going to be posting the console itself soon so stay tuned... By the way leave a comment or something if you're reading this so I know there's at least someone "tuned" ;)
